HCB Chapter 428 Fate
Chapter 428 Fate
Tao Tao stayed at his house in the afternoon. She originally wanted to leave, but Yiqing kept crying out in pain, so she had to stay. She had two extracurricular classes in the afternoon anyway.
Yiqing didn't do anything else afterwards. Tao Tao did her homework seriously and occasionally asked him for advice.
Yiqing was also very patient, which made Tao Tao regret avoiding him in the morning. Perhaps Yiqing was really different from others.
It was not until after dinner that Yiqing sent Tao Tao home. Tao Tao saw that he was still injured and didn't want him to send her home, but Yiqing insisted on sending her home, and she had no choice but to obey him.
On the way back to the dormitory, Tao Tao glanced at him and said, "Actually, I can just come back by myself."
Yiqing said: "No."
"..." Tao Tao felt helpless. How did Yiqing switch back and forth between the two attitudes of innocence and toughness?
When they got downstairs, Yiqing handed her the schoolbag. Tao Tao looked at his face and asked, "Does the wound still hurt?"
Yiqing wanted to answer truthfully that it didn't hurt, but then he thought, why not make good use of this opportunity?
"It hurts, A Tao, can you still come to my house tomorrow?" Yi Qing asked.
Tao Tao was embarrassed, and now he has an innocent look again.
"I..." Tao Tao wanted to refuse, but Yi Qing winked at her and she gave in. "Okay, be careful not to touch it again."
"Okay, I'll meet you downstairs in the dormitory tomorrow morning." Yi Qing said, "You promised that you won't hide from me anymore."
Tao Tao smiled: "I know, I won't regret it." She waved her hand and walked inside, "I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Only after watching Tao Tao's figure disappear around the corner did Yiqing turn around and leave.
When we walked around the court, several boys ran out and asked excitedly, "Brother Yi, how did we perform?"
Yiqing said: "Not bad."
A boy stepped forward, the ball in his hand still spinning: "Brother Yi, we agreed to the baseball game in a few weeks, remember to participate."
"Okay, I won't go back on my word." Yiqing said and walked towards the school gate.

The next day, Ding Zhinuo took Yao Lin to find Cheng Xiwen.
In the past few days, Yao Lin kept telling her that it was a pity that she didn't get to play the role of the princess, and that the prince was played by Cheng Zhou, who was famous in the school for his good temper, handsomeness, and good family background. Ding Zhinuo was already angry, and became even angrier when she said that.
She asked someone to investigate Xia Nian and found out that she was just an orphan and had no relationship with Xia Houyu, but the information showed that she had lived in the Cheng family for a year.
Therefore, Ding Zhinuo found Cheng Xiwen. She thought that they should have a good relationship and could find out whether Xia Nian had any backers.
After Cheng Xiwen came out, she asked directly to the point.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiwen's anger from yesterday rose again, and he said disdainfully, "She? What kind of backing does she have? She was only adopted by my father for a year, and then he drove her away. She is just an orphan."
Ding Zhinuo and Yao Lin looked at each other, and Yao Lin asked, "Then...does she have any relationship with other families later? For example, Xiahou or something like that."
Cheng Xiwen sneered and said, "How is that possible? Xiahou Yu might just be interested in her now, but who can say for sure in the future?"
Yao Lin smiled and said, "That's right."
Ding Zhinuo asked, "Since she has lived in your house for a year, why don't you have a good relationship with her? What about Cheng Zhou's relationship with her?"
She was mainly afraid that the Cheng family would still back Xia Nian up.
"How can I have a good relationship with her!" Cheng Xiwen raised her voice, "My brother and her... naturally don't have a good relationship either!"
Her tone was a little flustered later, thinking about what happened that year. It was because her mother took the paternity test report to see Cheng's father before she was critically ill that she stayed in the Cheng family, and Xia Nian left the Cheng family because of this.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, she still remembered that in the first few days after she arrived, Cheng Zhou always cried and asked Cheng's father and mother to take Xia Nian back.
Yao Lin smiled softly, "So that's how it is. Now we know. Thank you."
Ding Zhinuo didn't want to say thank you. How could Cheng Zhou, who was so elegant, have such a willful sister?
They don't look like biological children at all.
After going downstairs, Yao Lin said to Ding Zhinuo, "From this point of view, Xia Nian is just an ordinary student. The school admitted her because she won the championship in the dance competition." She held Ding Zhinuo's arm and said in a gentle voice, "But I think you dance well, Zhinuo."
Ding Zhinuo clenched her hands. She was not so obsessed with the championship. But before the competition, she heard someone say that she might not get a place in this dance competition. She got angry when she heard this. She had been dancing since elementary school, how could she not win?
At that time she directly said that she would win the championship, but when the rankings came out, she was not even in the top ten.
Ding Zhinuo was naturally laughed at, but Yao Lin comforted her: "It's okay, just try harder next time. I thought Zhinuo would win the championship, but I didn't expect there were so many talented people this time. But Zhinuo is not bad either, maybe she just lacked luck."
After hearing this, she immediately called her father and asked him to buy the championship.
In this way, everyone saw the financial resources and connections of her Ding family, and no one dared to say anything openly, but she really didn't expect that Xiahou Yu would actually interfere.
In this stage play, he deliberately made things difficult for her again!
But because of the competition, the Ding family had less cooperation with the Xiahou family, so Ding Zhinuo had to hold his breath.
Thinking of this, Ding Zhinuo angrily kicked a stone on the road.
Seeing this, Yao Lin smiled and said, "Zhinuo, don't be angry. From what Cheng Xiwen said just now, maybe Xiahou Yu helped Xia Nian just on a whim?"
Ding Zhinuo said: "I feel like he just wants to pick on me! He's targeting me everywhere."
Yao Lin chuckled: "If you put it that way, it seems like he is trying to get your attention."
"How is that possible?" Ding Zhinuo glanced at her. "You know how there can be true feelings in our circle."
Yao Lin expected her to say that, and said thoughtfully: "If that's the case, Xia Houyu is not trying to attract your attention, then he is just in a momentary mood towards Xia Nian, and they don't have any relationship. If there is a conflict of interest between your two families, he won't really do anything, right?"
This made Ding Zhinuo fall into deep thought. Yao Lin sighed and said, "Now Xia Nian is learning dance from Teacher Li again. I'm afraid she will push Xia Nian to perform in the future. Then your efforts...will be in vain."
Ding Zhinuo stopped and his fingertips dug deeply into the flesh.
She almost didn't expect what Yao Lin said. If Xia Nian had stayed in this school, she would never have the opportunity to participate in large-scale performances in the future.
She had to admit that Xia Nian was extremely talented, otherwise Teacher Li would not have been so stubborn as to take a liking to her. At that time, her family invited Teacher Li to give private lessons, but she stopped after two classes. Now, she allowed Xia Nian to enter her dance class for free.
But no matter how powerful Xia Nian was, wasn't she still an orphan with no background? If she got into trouble at school, someone above her would naturally suppress it. How could they find her at that time?
Besides, she doesn't know how to do it herself.
Ding Zhinuo felt much more cheerful and continued walking forward.
Yao Lin saw the smile on her face and understood what she was thinking. She hurriedly followed her and asked, "Zhinuo, why don't we go find the teacher again? We can also play other roles."
"No need. Who am I? I won't play those supporting roles." Ding Zhinuo said.
Yao Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, Zhinuo, you are the eldest daughter of the Ding family."
The Ding family does not have as much financial and human resources as the four major families, but it is still among the best.
Wherever Ding Zhinuo is, he is the focus of attention. He doesn't have much scheming and is only known for his background.
So, she was so envious. Some people are the center of attention as soon as they are born, and they have everything. Their lives are so lucky that it's outrageous.
And some people, even if they try their best, can only follow behind and be the so-called background board. No matter how outstanding they are, they are not as good as the word "background".
Ding Zhinuo suddenly looked at her and said, "Come on, hurry up."
Yao Lin waved her hand: "I'll be right there."
She ran forward and took her arm as usual.
